I'm a San Francisco native who specializes in big thinking, small details, and a whole lot of storytelling.

What started as a hobby messing around with Adobe Flash as a kid, quickly became a way of life for me. A couple of degrees, a few awards, and some really incredible projects later, it turns out I’ve gotten pretty good at this. Growing up around all this tech and working on some truly pivotal brands has shaped my view of human-focused experiences.

In my downtime, I enjoy a little fresh air, building computers, video games, and hanging out with my lovely wife and two sons.



What I do

I am currently a Senior Art Director on the brand team at a Stealth Startup and a certified design mentor at ADPlist.

Creative Leadership

Driving creative excellence at organizations like Google and Facebook. I guide artists and copywriters to create best-in-class experiences

Art Direction

Using design and photography to tell a visual story and connect with the customer is at the heart of what I love to do.

UX/UI Design

Maintaining a user-centric focus on experience and flowing visuals into it has been a critical component of my career as a designer.

Motion

Knowing how to “make things move” has been a integral part of my skillset to showcase mock-ups, complex ideas, and stories.
